If you do not itemize on your 2020 taxes can you still deduct certain charities up to $300

[DoninGA]

Yes, you can enter up to $300 of a cash donation to a qualified charity on your 2020 tax return even if you do not itemize your deductions.

[NCperson]

yes, but it does not go on Schedule A and will be reflected on Line 10b of Form 1040. 

currently, it is only a 2020 benefit.  

note it must be cash (check / credit / debit card) contributions - donations of goods or services do not count
